Directions

TO MAKE THE CREPES: COMBINE the milk, flour, eggs, oil, and nutmeg in a blender or food processor. Blend for 2 minutes. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate for 10 minutes.

COAT a medium nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Place the skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles when sprinkled on its surface. Pour 2 tablespoons of the batter into the center of the skillet; swirl to form a very thin circle about 7" across. Immediatelypour any excess batter back into the bowl. Cook the crepe for 1 minute, or until bubbles appear around the edges. Turn and cook the other side for 30 seconds. Continue cooking the crepes until all the batter is used. You should have 12 crepes. Stack the cooked crepes on a plate until ready to fill.

TO MAKE THE FILLING: HEAT a large nonstick skillet over mediumhigh heat and add the garlic and oil. Cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, and broth. Cover and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; add the chives and pepper.

PREHEAT the broiler. Coat a 13" x 9" baking dish with cooking spray.

COMBINE the cottage cheese and yogurt in a blender or food processor and pulse until very smooth. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the vegetable mixture. Spoon about 1 tablespoon into each crepe; roll tightly. Place the crepes, seam side down, in the baking dish. Sprinkle with the Parmesan; broil for 1 minute, or until the cheese melts.
